NOT prepared!
Mar 14, 2010
I thought I was prepared but the closer I get I realize I am not! I have only ever met with my surgeon ONE time... That was the day of my initial consult, where there were about 5 of us total on the group. I have talked to his office on the phone a few times.. I am so unprepared as to what I am supposed to take after surgery, what my goal weight is. Is this normal? Am i supposed to have all this before, or is this something they will talk to me about AFTER surgery? I have no idea what vitamins they want me on.. I did my class (8hour class) and they went over the over all nutrition and such after, but I do not have a diet plan fitted for me by my surgeon or a dietician... Is this normal? I was thinking maybe i have the surgery and then they do all that for me, but it seems everyone else knows going into the surgery what to truly expect after from themselves and the surgeons..... and because my surgery is on a friday, I will NOT see a dietician the next day like most people do because its a weekend. Maybe I should ask to see one AFTER my surgery that day... I am sure they would if i asked to see one? I feel so lost at this point. I do not mean to WHINE, but this is a life changing surgery, and I thought i would be more prepared than this going into the surgery! I am trying to do the whole no drink 30 minutes before, during or after and its so hard!!!
